The effects of stress on gut virome: Implications on infectious disease and systemic disorders
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 5, October 2024.Stress conditions can weaken the host's immune system, affecting the entire gut–brain axis. Concurrently, disruptions in the composition of the gut microbiota are associated with exacerbations of diseases. This review explores the complex interplay between stress, gut virome, and the host immune system.

Phaeocystis globosa Virus DNA Polymerase X: a “Swiss Army knife”, Multifunctional DNA polymerase-lyase-ligase for Base Excision Repair [PDF]
, 2011 Phaeocystis globosa virus 16T is a giant virus that belongs to the so-called nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA virus (NCLDV) group. Its linear dsDNA genome contains an almost full complement of genes required to participate in viral base excision repair (BER).

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2024.Our comparative analysis unveiled the distinct advantages of two methods in capturing the complexity of viral communities and their functions in wastewater treatment plants. The non‐concentrated (NC) metagenomic approach identified a higher number of viral contigs, though it had a lower yield of high‐quality contigs.

Dinucleotide biases in the genomes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic dsDNA viruses and their hosts
Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 6, March 2024.Abstract The genomes of cellular organisms display CpG and TpA dinucleotide composition biases. Such biases have been poorly investigated in dsDNA viruses. Here, we show that in dsDNA virus, bacterial, and eukaryotic genomes, the representation of TpA and CpG dinucleotides is strongly dependent on genomic G + C content.

Role of the R349 Gene and Its Repeats in the MIMIVIRE Defense System
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 MIMIVIRE is a defense system described in lineage A Mimivirus (Mimiviridae family) that mediates resistance against Zamilon virophage. It is composed of putative helicase and nuclease associated with a gene of unknown function called R349, which contains

Seasonal Dynamics of Algae-Infecting Viruses and Their Inferred Interactions with Protists
Viruses, 2019 Viruses are a highly abundant, dynamic, and diverse component of planktonic communities that have key roles in marine ecosystems. We aimed to reveal the diversity and dynamics of marine large dsDNA viruses infecting algae in the Northern Skagerrak, South
